Foremay Lays Claim Of First 2TB 2.5-inch SSD In The World

foremay Foremay Lays Claim Of First 2TB 2.5 inch SSD In The WorldEveryone wants to make history, and have their names etched in the annals for all time to come, and the same can be said of companies, too. Foremay, for example, claims that they have successfully developed the world’s first 2TB SSD that has been stuffed into a 2.5-inch SATA enclosure. Of course, 2TB is old hat by now if you do not mind purchasing a large PCI Express card, but Foremay’s efforts with the TC166 and SC199 for end users and industrial users respectively will come in a 2.5-inch SATA enclosure.

Measuring a mere 9.5mm thin, it ought to find a place in most laptop hard drive bays and space-sensitive machinery without batting an eyelid. Unfortunately, some of the more important details that we would have liked to see including pricing and availability remain elusive, so there is no way to speculate on a price point just yet, although we are quite sure that the adjective “expensive” would find a prominent place in due time.

Foremay claims to have the first 2TB, 25inch SSD

It’s been relatively easy for awhile to get a solid-state drive with 2TB or more of storage — if you’ve been willing to buy a large PCI Express card, that is. Foremay is bringing that kind of capacity to a more portable form. It claims that both its TC166 (for end users) and SC199 (industrial) drives are the first to stuff 2TB of flash memory into a 2.5-inch SATA enclosure. The 9.5mm thickness should let them fit into many laptop hard drive bays and space-sensitive machinery without having to give up all those valuable extra bytes. Before reaching for a credit card, however, we’d warn that there aren’t many details so far — we don’t know the performance, or how much it costs to buy either model. We’ve reached out and will get back if there’s firmer details, but at least corporate customers who want speed and ample storage in one drive will be glad to hear that Foremay’s new SSDs are already in mass production.
